Cisco Preferred Architecture (CPA) guidelines are now available to support partners focusing on Midmarket Video, Midmarket Voice, and Midmarket Collaboration.

CPA guides help customers and sales teams select the appropriate architecture based on an organization’s business requirements; understand the products that are used within the architecture; and obtain general design best practices.

The three comprehensive guides provide recommended deployment models for specific market segments based on common organizational use cases. They incorporate a subset of products from the total Cisco Voice, Video, and Collaboration portfolio that is best suited for the targeted market segment and defined use cases.

These deployment models are prescriptive, out-of-the-box, and built to scale with an organization as its business needs change. This prescriptive approach simplifies the integration of multiple system-level components and enables an organization to select the deployment model that addresses its business needs.

Peak Colo’s channel-only model is an essential component for companies wishing to offer high-end, resilient cloud services without being concerned about competing with the underlying marketplace provider.
